Making the Sauce

  4. If using, pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a few minutes.
  5. Stir in the heavy cream and half of the Parmesan cheese; season with salt and pepper to taste.
Combining and Baking
  1. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and mix carefully to coat.
  2. Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, top with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  3. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
